What model heater to use on a 03 SANTE?

[Chad52]

I have searched and read through most of the forums about how to install a heater, but there are very few references to actual model numbers of the heaters used. When I look at Heatercraft's website, there are several different variations of the 3-H series. Which one are most people ordering? At this point, I think I'm looking for a standard 3 vent (1 defrost, 1 driver, 1 hot tube) configuration, but also might consider two hot tubes instead. Which model number are most using?

Hey Chad -- At least in the past CC used the 2H model for its factory installs. The defrost was "Y'd" off one of the vent lines to give two heats tubes and one defrost. A lot of folks (including myself) have picked up the same model but if you can squeeze a 3H somewhere in your boat, I'd imagine the extra outlet would be nice to have.

I don't know what CC uses in its newer boats, especially since they're larger and have more room for the bigger 3H model.

Can anybody confirm that the 3H series is not a problem to mount under the dash of an 03 SANTE?
